I have my two outdoor feeders mounted on 6' steel pipes. I have a turn of electric fence tape around them on plastic hangers at about 5'. The squirrels will try to climb it once and will never do it again.
We lose 1-2 feeders to bears every year. We run 4 different feeders (10 feet from the door) and have to pull them in at night for a few weeks in the spring.I was building a house for someone up in the mountains very near Skyline Drive and found out that the squirrel proof feeders are not bear proof. At least we assumed it was a bear, it could have been was just a beefed up fox squirrel. They get pretty big over here.Ed
These actually work. Guess they SHOULD for the price! We had one for many, many years. Then bought another for a gift for my dad. I inherited it when he passed, so we have two now. Amazon.com : Woodlink Absolute Squirrel Resistant Bird Feeder Model 7533 : Patio, Lawn & Garden
